Artworks & WIPs for Tim Biskup's Space Madeness Show @ Kong Art Space (Aug 27-Sep 27)

"SPACE MADNESS" is the name of Tim Biskup's new solo show @ Kong Art Space in Hong Kong, and the above featured artwork showcases the theme: he's dedicating the show to his love of Roberto Matta and Ren & Stimpy.

"With his newest series of paintings Biskup has come back to his roots. The work is bold, colorful, cartoony and emotive. He’s always felt a sort of spiritual connection to the work of Roberto Matta which is clearly a touchpoint in this collection. The stylistic similarities are there, but also a deep belief in the relevance of Jungian symbolism and incorporation of the surrealist philosophy of automatic composition. Like Matta, Biskup believes that these paintings are biomorphic representations of the artists psyche. What Matta called “Inscapes”. Another link to the artist’s past is the title of the exhibition, “Space Madness”. It's a tip of the hat to Ren & Stimpy, an animated TV show that was instrumental in luring Biskup into the world of cartoon making." (timbiskup.com)

This is his first exhibition in Hong Kong. As well said image will also be made into a print. Further details if I have them.

It's been quite a long while since we've seen any new toys / collectibles from Biskup, and I truly miss seeing them … I'd just have to find a way back thru his early catalogs of works then … :p

Meanwhile, check out some WIPs of his artwork for the show (via tbiskup.art)
